Prince of Thorns is the first volume in a powerful new epic fantasy trilogy, original, absorbing and challenging.
Before the thorns taught me their sharp lessons and bled weakness from me I had but one brother, and I loved him well. But those days are gone and what is left of them lies in my mother's tomb. Now I have many brothers, quick with knife and sword, and as evil as you please. We ride this broken empire and loot its corpse. They say these are violent times, the end of days when the dead roam and monsters haunt the night. All that's true enough, but there's something worse out there, in the dark. Much worse.
From being a privileged royal child, raised by a loving mother, Jorg Ancrath has become the Prince of Thorns, a charming, immoral boy leading a grim band of outlaws in a series of raids and atrocities. The world is in chaos: violence is rife, nightmares everywhere. Jorg has the ability to master the living and the dead, but there is still one thing that puts a chill in him. Returning to his father's castle Jorg must confront horrors from his childhood and carve himself a future with all hands turned against him.
Mark Lawrence's debut novel tells a tale of blood and treachery, magic and brotherhood and paints a compelling and brutal, and sometimes beautiful, picture of an exceptional boy on his journey toward manhood and the throne.

Jos tykkää dark fantasy genrestä niin kova suositus. Lukija mielestäni todella hyvä.

Grim dark fantasy in a post-apocalyptic dystopian world with a twisted and violent main character. Jorg is an interesting narrator, even likeable sometimes. There's also dark humour and wit in the narration which can be a hit or miss depending on the reader. The book is not for the faintest but the storytelling and Jorg's journey with unseen plot twists really kept me interested.

Aloittaa parhaan fantasia sarjan, jonka olen kuunnellut. Ensimmäisellä kerralla lopetin kuuntelun kesken, koska kirja vaikutti liian erilaiselta totuttuun verrattuna. Palasin kirjan pariin myöhemmin nettisivusuositusten takia ja olen todella tyytyväinen, että tein niin. Erilaisuus osoittautuu tämän (ja tähän liittyvien) sarjojen vahvuudeksi. Jättää taakseen G.R.R. Martinin, Robin Hobbin, Joe Abercrombien (josta en itse niin välittänyt), Patrick Rothfussin jne.
